Just finished setting up the table for the game on Friday - got back from a late dental appointment - I now have another implant/crown! Anyway, here's the photos of the tentative starting positions of the units. I may allow the players to reposition some of their units, particularly the artillery pieces.
Imperialist forces on the left behind defensive positions; French forces on the right; Toy Poodle in the center (the wife wanted her in the picture).The Imperialists' baggage camp - a victory condition for the French if captured.French forces consisting of Swiss mercenary pike blocks in the center, Venetian allies on their right flank, and cavalry on the left flank - including gendarmes and mounted crossbows.Imperialist forces with Spanish heavy and light cavalry on their right flank, Spanish colunela to their left, and landsknecht pikes on their left flank. Artillery to their rear on higher ground.French left, with Giovanni de Medici's mounted crossbows, and mounted gendarmes (using proxy models including Warhammer Fantasy Empire Knights).French center led by Odet de Foix, Vicomte de Lautrec, with Swiss mercenary pikes and supporting arquebusiers.Venetian allies and light gun on the French right. The infantry are Warhammer Fantasy Empire 6th Ed. figures.Imperialist right flank with Spanish jinetes and heavy cavalry behind them.Karl Franz standing in as the Imperialists commander until a suitable figure arrives on game day with one of the players. He's also bring a few more mounted commanders. I really wanted to get a few from Steel Fist Miniatures, but procratinated.Landsknechts on loan from Emperor Charles V on the left flank, anchored next to the Bicocca manor.This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!
